Steam Generators

I'm looking for information on steam generators: how to install them, how they work with different control panels, who the most reliable manufacturers are, and anything else you can think of. I'm ultimately looking to put together a piece on custom steam rooms. If you have any info, please send me an email. Thanks. Surprisingly, I've found that installing a steam generator is a lot easier than finding reliable online information about them. One question I have is: if I buy a control panel from Kohler, can I buy a steam generator from Toto, or do I have to use the same manufacturer for everything.

Kohler Steam Rooms

This is a custom steam room with Kohler fixtures and a Kohler steam generator, I'm pretty sure. I found it in the Dallas News. I can't figure out if it has a door, but I love the shower heads, ceiling rain, and look of the control panel. This is modern bathroom design at it's finest, in my opinion. Estimated cost: $35,000.

Adam Gibson Bathroom Design

Rendering - "The client wanted an addition with a roomy master bath and closet. The corner was rounded and the tub recessed into the niche. The shower glass reflected the ceiling’s pitch. Concrete was used on the vanity tops. The idea’s reception was dubious until the client saw this rendering."

R. Hendrick & Sons Bathtub Repair

"Bathtub refinishing or reglazing a worn-out bathtub is a site intensive process. The first step is a proper cleaning. Bathtub refinishing involves masking the surfaces around the tub to protect from overspray and properly venting the bathroom to extract any odors. Our refinishers will use scent masking agents such as cherry, lilac, cinnamon etc. After we remove the caulk, our refinishers clean the bathtub with a delaminating solution that not only dissolves what's left of the porcelain glaze but also opens the surface pours to promote mechanical adhesion. Next, the refinisher washes away the delaminating solution and prepares the area and surface for spraying, He then sprays on 2 to 3 coats of a fast-drying epoxy or polyurethane primer along mixed with a bonding agent to promote adhesion. Our bonding agent adds 500 percent adhesion the the surface. To finish, we give the bathtub a cleaning with a tack cloth to remove any dust particles or insects, and then spray four applications of a finish coat."

"Now your can have the pleasure of a four to eight jet whirlpool in the privacy your home without the mess, inconvenience, and expenses of replacing your bathtub. In just one day we can convert your present bathtub into a whirlpool, just as featured in many luxury hotels. Our whirlpool conversions include a 3/4 or 1 horsepower motor, safe air operated on/off switch, and adjustable jets. To match your decor our whirlpool jets and return covers are available in chrome, brass, bone and white. No need to worry if you bathtub has seen better days, and the finish is worn or dull, or just not a contemporary color. We can combine your whirlpool conversion with the installation of an Luxury acrylic liner. Not only do our liners make the worst bathtub look brand new, but because their are made of 1/4" ABS acrylic your whirlpool will stay hot three times longer."
